Most staff are assigned to posts in Strasbourg but the Council also has a representation office in Paris and a liaison office in Brussels. Other outposts include:

- The European Centre for Global Interdependence and Solidarity in Lisbon (Portugal),
- The European Youth Centre in Budapest (Hungary), and
- The European Centre for Modern Languages in Graz (Austria).

The Council of Europe Offices has other external offices which serve to facilitate, maintain and strengthen working relations between the Council of Europe and the national authorities (government and parliament), representatives of civil society, political parties, the media and members of the international community.

Their activities allow the Council of Europe to influence legislative and other reforms, to provide expertise in the Organisation's fields of competence and to develop effective training programmes. The CoE Offices co-ordinate initiatives with the UN, the OSCE and EU.
